Worth and Dignity of Every Being?: Dare To Rise

Dare To Rise

In this music video, Dare to Rise, I lift up how all species are interconnected in beauty and tragedy, and how out of that knowing, we humans can dare to rise to our fullest potential to care for all life.

This video can be used in worship settings as well as a faith development resource. A discussion guide with questions can be found here. You can also learn more by reading the producer's comments on the incorporated media.

Dare to Rise lyrics written by Anna Huckabee Tull, sung by Anna Huckabee Tull and singers from the First Parish of Concord, produced by Rev. LoraKim Joyner, and commissioned by Katherine Shane for the Unitarian Universalist Animal Ministry's Reverence for Life Program.

Why This Blog?

This is a forum open to all for discussing the nature of life on earth. Specifically we are asking if species besides humans have worth and dignity. Aimed to be an open forum, we will invite authors to publish essays on a wide range of topics relating to the question, "Does every being have worth and dignity?" We also encourage comments and further discussion following each article. All viewpoints are welcome as long as they are written in a compassionate and respectful tone, and follow the spirit of the Unitarian Universalist Principles. This blog was inspired by the First Principle Project, and though originated by the Unitarian Universalist Animal Ministry, seeks to involve the wider community into two of its goals:

1. The Conversation: Invite as many as possible into a conversation about the religious, spiritual, and ethical aspects of living in a multispecies world. One question we ask: How do we understand reality and what is our response to this?

2. Changing Ourselves: Guide people as they seek to improve their ability to participant in and sustain these discussions, reflect more deeply and broadly about what it means to be compassionate in a multispecies world, and in so doing, augment their faith development, deepen their spiritual lives, and empower their compassionate behavior at the individual and collective level.
